commit 07b050f9290ee012a407a0f64151db902a1520f5 upstream.

Relocatable kernels must not discard relocations, they need to be
processed at runtime. As such they are included for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
builds in the powerpc linker script (line 340).

However they are also unconditionally discarded later in the
script (line 414). Previously that worked because the earlier inclusion
superseded the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 137). With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier, causing .rela* to
actually be discarded at link time, leading to build warnings and a
kernel that doesn't boot:

  ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.init.rodata

Fix it by conditionally discarding .rela* only when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
is disabled.

<title>powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT</title>

commit 4b9880dbf3bdba3a7c56445137c3d0e30aaa0a40 upstream.

The powerpc linker script explicitly includes .exit.text, because
otherwise the link fails due to references from __bug_table and
__ex_table. The code is freed (discarded) at runtime along with
.init.text and data.

That has worked in the past despite powerpc not defining
RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT because DISCARDS appears late in the powerpc linker
script (line 410), and the explicit inclusion of .exit.text
earlier (line 280) supersedes the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 136). With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier [1], causing
.exit.text to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build
errors:

  '.exit.text' referenced in section '__bug_table' of crypto/algboss.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of crypto/algboss.o
  '.exit.text' referenced in section '__ex_table' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o

Fix it by defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT, which causes the generic
DISCARDS macro to not include .exit.text at all.

[ Upstream commit 31f48f16264bc70962fb3e7ec62da64d0a2ba04a ]

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that KBUILD_AFLAGS contains a linker flag, which will be
unused:

  clang: error: -Wl,-a32: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This was likely supposed to be '-Wa,-a$(BITS)'. However, this change is
unnecessary, as all supported versions of clang and gcc will pass '-a64'
or '-a32' to GNU as based on the value of '-m'; the behavior of the
latest stable release of the oldest supported major version of each
compiler is shown below and each compiler's latest release exhibits the
same behavior (GCC 12.2.0 and Clang 15.0.6).

<title>powerpc/eeh: Set channel state after notifying the drivers</title>

[ Upstream commit 9efcdaac36e1643a1b7f5337e6143ce142d381b1 ]

When a PCI error is encountered 6th time in an hour we
set the channel state to perm_failure and notify the
driver about the permanent failure.

However, after upstream commit 38ddc011478e ("powerpc/eeh:
Make permanently failed devices non-actionable"), EEH handler
stops calling any routine once the device is marked as
permanent failure. This issue can lead to fatal consequences
like kernel hang with certain PCI devices.

Following log is observed with lpfc driver, with and without
this change, Without this change kernel hangs, If PCI error
is encountered 6 times for a device in an hour.

Without the change

 EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
 PCI 0132:60:00.0#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
 PCI 0132:60:00.1#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
 EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'

With the change

 EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
 EEH: Invoking lpfc-&gt;error_detected(permanent failure)
 EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
 EEH: Invoking lpfc-&gt;error_detected(permanent failure)
 EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
 EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'

To fix the issue, set channel state to permanent failure after
notifying the drivers.

The control flow of eeh_handle_normal_event() is a bit tricky.

Break out one of the error handling paths - rather than be in an else
block, we'll make it part of the regular body of the function and put a
'goto out;' in the true limb of the if.

<title>powerpc/rtas: ensure 4KB alignment for rtas_data_buf</title>

[ Upstream commit 836b5b9fcc8e09cea7e8a59a070349a00e818308 ]

Some RTAS functions that have work area parameters impose alignment
requirements on the work area passed to them by the OS. Examples
include:

- ibm,configure-connector
- ibm,update-nodes
- ibm,update-properties

4KB is the greatest alignment required by PAPR for such
buffers. rtas_data_buf used to have a __page_aligned attribute in the
arch/ppc64 days, but that was changed to __cacheline_aligned for
unknown reasons by commit 033ef338b6e0 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into
arch/powerpc/kernel"). That works out to 128-byte alignment
on ppc64, which isn't right.

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of any real problems
caused by this. Either current RTAS implementations don't enforce the
alignment constraints, or rtas_data_buf is always being placed at a
4KB boundary by accident (or both, perhaps).

Use __aligned(SZ_4K) to ensure the rtas_data_buf has alignment
appropriate for all users.

4KB is the greatest alignment required by PAPR for such
buffers. rtas_data_buf used to have a __page_aligned attribute in the
arch/ppc64 days, but that was changed to __cacheline_aligned for
unknown reasons by commit 033ef338b6e0 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into
arch/powerpc/kernel"). That works out to 128-byte alignment
on ppc64, which isn't right.

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of any real problems
caused by this. Either current RTAS implementations don't enforce the
alignment constraints, or rtas_data_buf is always being placed at a
4KB boundary by accident (or both, perhaps).

Use __aligned(SZ_4K) to ensure the rtas_data_buf has alignment
appropriate for all users.

<title>powerpc/rtas: make all exports GPL</title>

[ Upstream commit 9bce6243848dfd0ff7c2be6e8d82ab9b1e6c7858 ]

The first symbol exports of RTAS functions and data came with the (now
removed) scanlog driver in 2003:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=f92e361842d5251e50562b09664082dcbd0548bb

At the time this was applied, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() was very new, and
the exports of rtas_call() etc have remained non-GPL. As new APIs have
been added to the RTAS subsystem, their symbol exports have followed
the convention set by existing code.

However, the historical evidence is that RTAS function exports have been
added over time only to satisfy the needs of in-kernel users, and these
clients must have fairly intimate knowledge of how the APIs work to use
them safely. No out of tree users are known, and future ones seem
unlikely.

Arguably the default for RTAS symbols should have become
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL once it was available. Let's make it so now, and
exceptions can be evaluated as needed.

<title>powerpc/powernv/ioda: Skip unallocated resources when mapping to PE</title>

[ Upstream commit e64e71056f323a1e178dccf04d4c0f032d84436c ]

pnv_ioda_setup_pe_res() calls opal to map a resource with a PE. However,
the code assumes the resource is allocated and it uses the resource
address to find out the segment(s) which need to be mapped to the
PE. In the unlikely case where the resource hasn't been allocated, the
computation for the segment number is garbage, which can lead to
invalid memory access and potentially a kernel crash, such as:

Hitting the problem is not that easy. It was seen with a (semi-bogus)
PCI device with a class code of 0. The generic PCI framework doesn't
allocate resources in such a case.

The patch is simply skipping resources which are still flagged with
IORESOURCE_UNSET.

We don't have the problem with 64-bit mem resources, as the address of
the resource is checked to be within the range of the 64-bit mmio
window. See pnv_ioda_reserve_dev_m64_pe() and pnv_pci_is_m64().

Hitting the problem is not that easy. It was seen with a (semi-bogus)
PCI device with a class code of 0. The generic PCI framework doesn't
allocate resources in such a case.

The patch is simply skipping resources which are still flagged with
IORESOURCE_UNSET.

We don't have the problem with 64-bit mem resources, as the address of
the resource is checked to be within the range of the 64-bit mmio
window. See pnv_ioda_reserve_dev_m64_pe() and pnv_pci_is_m64().
